Yoga & Ayurveda retreat
Monday 20th - Sunday 26th January 2025
7 days, 6 nights in Crete, Greece
~ Explore new depths of understanding your true self ~
Let's celebrate our lives on this earthy realm. How can we make it (even) more healthy & playful in full awareness?
We will discover this by the magical wisdom powers of Yoga, Ayurveda, Breathwork & Sound healing.
Guided by nature and its elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Ether.
This retreat is created to dig deeper. To transform. To be together, to fully let go & create space for new pathways. With quiet times, but also a lot of laughters.
Personalized and customized for you.
For all levels of experience, especially interesting if you already have some experience with yoga.

Yoga & Ayurveda
During this retreat you will get a wonderful blend of yoga practices combined with the knowledge & beauty of Ayurveda, they complement each other perfectly.
Y O G A
We practice yoga to control the mind, so it does not control us. We calm the 'vrittis' (thought waves) to bring us clarity, awareness, flexibility & strength in the body and mind.
A Y U R V E D A
Ayurveda is a holistic healing system that's been practiced for over 5000 years (origins in India). It's developed through the observation of what all life is created from, the 5 ELEMENTS. Ayurveda re-awakens the deep knowing that you are true nature.
Ayurveda teaches us to live a healthy, happy life, to fully enjoy it by creating awareness around our diet, lifestyle, work & sleep.
We will have plenty of time to dive into this wisdom so that we can return to our intended authentic selves through the magical combination of yoga, ayurveda, pranayama & food for the soul.
